Chinese scientists have found glue in snails for healing wounds.

It reduces inflammation and provides a moist environment for tissue regeneration more effectively than clinical fibrin gel. The natural material is called d-SMG. It is 30-50% protein and 10-16% sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG). During the experiments, the biomaterial healed skin wounds in ordinary rodents and in animals with diabetes. Based on snail glue, it will be possible to create bioactive dressings and bioengineered scaffolds for the treatment of wounds in humans.
